I'm so very sorry to learn of Jean Ann's passing. We were great friends as little girls going to Irving school. We continued our friendship well into our careers at State Farm Insurance while she was in Bloomington. She and Jon shared a wonderful marriage, I know they are together again. My prayers are for her children and loved ones, be at Peace knowing she is with Jon again.

I knew Jean when we worked at the former Atlanta Operations Center (AOC) in Duluth, GA. Jean was well respected and positively impacted the lives of many SF employees both personally and professionally. Rest in Eternal Peace, sweet lady.
